I know you want me to entertain
don't want me to be lame don't wanna hear me say
stuff that might sober you up
and make you give a fuck
too bad, you're out of luck!
because I'm not that funny of a guy, and besides
I've got too many questions in my mind
like why do I so often resent the world I'm living in?
and am I boring you yet with the same old shit again?
did you know that change is within reach?
and it starts with ourselves.
the stuff we learn and the stuff we teach!
the willingness to be honest with ourselves
and everybody else is the first step to cooling this hell
and did you know that music is a very powerful thing?
and lyrics can be more than just mindless singing?
and maybe you can't change the world, but you can change yourself
and the music should be fun, but sometimes there's something else...
entertainment vs. enlightenment
you learn the words to every single verse
entertainment vs. enlightenment
but it still doesn't make a dent
entertainment vs. enlightenment
somebody took the time to write these lines
entertainment vs. enlightenment
so think about what they meant yeah,
and did you know that music is a very powerful thing?
and it's a lot more fun than sitting around whacking (I don't know about that)
and maybe you can't change the world, but you can change yourself
and music should be fun, but sometimes there's something else...
the things you call important are making me see red
the patches that you wear and the spikes on your head are nothing but a fashion show
and you judge everyone on a sliding scale of "punk" like you were the first one
you say music with a message is a fucking bore?
I guess it takes away from the punk points you score
but you hate it cause it makes you think I think you hate it cause it makes you think.
I'm surrounded by Idiots everyday
Frustrated by the games that people play
Confused by what the t.v says I need
Lost in space and ugly too
people act like they've been sniffing glue
Never questioning the things that they believe
Freedom of choice must be a joke
just look at all the people that cannot cope
I've got something I want to say to them
There's a lot of stuff that I can do
That doesn't mean I have to impose on you
If you take offense to common sense
That's your problem
I can do what I want
Listern to some Slayer and play nintendo all night long
Racism sucks and so do you
If you hate somebody cause they're not like you
And that goes for homophobia, zenophobia, and classism too
I can sit around and masturbate
have different coloured friends that I don't hate
It doesn't matter if you don't approve
I can stick my finger up my nose
Never take a bath or change my clothes
And my underarms can ruin someone's day
I can ride a float in the gay parade
Terrorize the christian right for a day
And Sing "homophobes are just pissed 'cause they can't get laid"
I can do what I want
Go to school and read the necronomicon
I can do what I want
Constipation - No defecation
I ate too many jalepanos
I've got burning asshole syndrome
I am sitting on the pot
A thousand farts that will not stop
I ate a little too much cheese
My pants are down below my knees
Sitting on a porcelain
Sitting in a lonely stall
I read this on the bathroom wall
"Here i sit all broken hearted
Tried to shit and only farted
Those who write on bathroom walls
Roll their shit in little balls
Those who read these words of wit
Eat those little balls of shit!"
I'm dealing with it everyday
it just keeps getting in my way
I've seen it from every angle
and it's always in a tangle
At first I tried to dippity doo
Now I'm using Elmers Glue
But I just cannot fight the funk
because I'm a bad hair day punk!
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
Manic panic's on sale at the mall
punk in a jar, kids, let's not stall
We'll show our colors on weekends
cause we've got nothing to defend
Let's get drunk, and smash the state
as long as we're not home too late!
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
I'm going nowhere, I don't care
as long as I have cool nose rings
As long as I have punk rock hair
just like I saw on MTV
As long as there are punk rock bands
I'll just keep my head in the sand
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
I'll spend my time, consumed by junk
cause I'm a bad hair day punk!
